  I began to have trouble with my micro-cassette recorder at this point. Loss of treble here and there. This is why, in the editing process, I went to a format of asking the question after the fact, and then dubbing in the interview subject's response. Later on the problem clears up a bit. This is probably the end-of-the-line for this particular micro-cassette unit. I have another in the bullpen, but Radio Shack has discontinued the model I have used since 1998, and they are getting hard to find. The "Dusty" sound comes from these little $29 units. Who knows when I'll have to find a new "sound." Kind of sad.

Caught Up In "Hope and Change"

  In addition to micro-cassette troubles, there is the ongoing struggle of differing rates of tape speed from one cassette unit to the other. As I've mentioned before, I often have to monitor the tape speed control of WFMU's studio cassette deck to compensate for tape speed differences with my home unit. I tend to get 'chipmunk' voices (sped-up) and I have to slow them down manually. As the tape continues to roll, this rate will change at different rates. It varies also from 60 to 90-minute cassettes. Naturally, this effects music as well, and during songs I have to make sure they are not too fast or slow. Sometimes I fail. All in the interest of keeping the "sound" you seem to favor over the digital recording. Strange. I have a rather expensive Sony digital recorder, but I still use the $29 Radio Shack unit. Hope to keep using one!

  That's it for another Dusty Show everybody. Thanks for listening. I've really been enjoying your Accu-Playlist comments and emails. If you'd like to drop me a line ---- dusty@wfmu.org

I know I sometimes overdo the politics, but with an election upcoming, I'll probably keep doing it. I'll try to keep mixing in other topics and music along the way. Also have to figure out my micro-cassette sitch. People always say "why don't you go digital or just use some other kind of micro-cassette, but I have become rather obsessively attached to the one's I use. Whatever. I'll figure something out.

I hope life is treating you well and that you've been having a good summer. I really appreciate your continued listening, support and loyalty. It matters to me. Quite honestly, these shows are a ton of work, but it's a labor of love most of the time, and being an FMU DJ is a privilige I dn't take lightly. So ... until next time, keep on rocking and always remember.

For the record, I really struggled with my micro-cassette recorder this week. Treble drop-off, tape speed issues. It made editing very difficult. On top of that, I have been asking too many of the same questions all the time. Revamp needed.
  6:10pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Clay: Ah, but it IS a version of it. Wondered where that tune came from.

Was there audio problems with your half of the interview? Or is that a new thing you're trying, re-dubbing your questions between the answers?

Unfortunately, too many Everest climbers nowadays are tourists who are dragged up and down the mountain with tons of oxygen tanks. They don't train, they don't climb properly, and they risk the lives of others so they can say "I climbed Everest." No you didn't, you were carried up and down the damn mountain!

Hey Clay, Love your show. I was in 10th grade in 1975 at Ferris HS in Downtown JC when I saw the Stones in 75 at the Garden. The Ohio Players "Fire" was played before a 100 piece steel band opened up and played a set including the great Scott Joplin song "The Entertainer" that was popular then for its role in the classic movie "The Sting.
